Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park

Great camping place to go with your children family and friends! The staff was very friendly. The grounds are well kept! There was a lot to do for everyone of all ages. We joined for other families there. Kids of all ages and at no time was anybody ever in a loss for something to do. We really liked The wipeout attraction and the blow ups with the bouncy pillow! Everyone had a great time at the dance! Great music was played! The front desk check in was a very easy process with great people to!!! We will for sure return !!

We usually stay at the Caledonia Jellystone but wanted to try a different location. We were drawn to the Fort Atkinson location for all the amenities on the website.
Pros:
— nice, large campsite with a lot of activities for kids and families
— two pools, nice for the large area
— most of the staff was courteous and helpful
— prompt check-​in service (they met us at the entrance, nice to avoid having to park the van/​trailer, though there really isn’t a place to do that so this is kind of a must to eliminate traffic congestion)
Cons
— no full hook up sites — at all!
— very hilly terrain, golf cart rental is a must (@ $ 90/​day)
— not enough restrooms (not keen on port-​a-​potties)
— not enough «staples» in the shop
— no lake access to Lake Koshkenong (sp?) though you can see it from the grounds
— the super fun amenities are an extra $ 12/​wrist band/​day; those amenities only available for 2 hours on a weekend day
— the majority of the activities are in the seasonal/​permanent section, almost giving the impression that weekenders aren’t good enough to enjoy them
— VERY narrow roadways for bringing in trailers
— very dusty (saw one seasonal camper watering down the roadway to reduce the dust kick-​up)
— hard to find since our latest version of Navigation software didn’t reflect recent road construction — we noticed signs on the highway directing to Jellystone on Sunday, we came up on Friday when the signs weren’t out yet
Our experience
— I specifically requested a full hook up site at the time of reservation. When we arrive, no sewer hook up. I went up to the registration office to request the site I asked for, and was told that, no, they don’t have ANY full hook up sites. But they do have a «free» dump station (my husband almost took a picture of that sign pointing out that the dump station was free to use). Their responses were rude, as if I was the one who misunderstood — they apologized for MY mistake (yes, they used the words, «sorry for your mistake»)! Unbelievable!
— a couple rude staff members (example, tried to tell the teenager working on the Hey Hey Ride that the back tire on the wagon was extremely low TWICE and he ignored us each time)
— waited for 3 rounds for the «Hey Hey Ride», even though we were first in line for the 2^nd go-​around, except the tractor pulled in at the back of the line, so we were last!
— many of the buildings and some equipment on the grounds are not kept up; many seasonable/​permanent sites were in awful shape
— water wasn’t working in the main buildings on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend
— there was a HAIR on my daughter’s hot dog from Ranger’s Kitchen (lady was very apologetic, replaced the hot dog and refunded the amount of the hot dog without my asking)
— husband wanted to visit the game room that was advertised on the site, only to learn from a staff member that it’s been closed for THREE YEARS, who also said that she didn’t know why it hadn’t been taken off the website yet
Overall, we won’t be coming back. Granted, our experience was dampened (no pun intended) by rainy weather and a super muddy site. It’s a shame because I’m sure it was a prime vacation spot back in its day. If they could spruce up the grounds, buildings, and customer service, and at least look like they are prepared for camping season by Memorial Day, we’d reconsider. For now, it’s off our list.

Fun place for families with children to visit. 2 swimming pools, mini golf, fishing, sand volleyball, basketball, tennis, snack bar, themed events and more. Your lot section/​trailer will definately dictate your experience. Most of the park is wooded, but there is a large section that is full sun.
